I love the movement in this poem from the shadow being almost a judgment of you to you reclaiming agency over your shadow. Well done, Ella!

aw this is so beautiful!! I love how you captured the uncomfortable, persisting power it feels the shadow has over who we are :(( also the painting is stunningly haunted, looking for substack images is low-key an experience in itself 🫶

beautiful poem about our shadows and i love the image you chose! i really like how in germanic cultures, the sun is “she” and the moon is “he”.
